The UK version of ANTIQUES ROADSHOW is back on the trail of the nation’s hidden treasures, visiting more of Britain’s most sumptuous and unusual locations. Fiona Bruce hosts.
Highlights of Season 37 include a very special visit from Her Majesty the Queen to meet members of the team at Hillsborough Castle in Northern Ireland.
Also featured are the dramatic and romantic ruins of Kirby Hall, among which the team marvel at a 500-year-old religious painting — first seen in 2010 — now beautifully restored. They examine an extraordinary carved chair inspired by the MPs’ expenses scandal.
They visit Chenies Manor where a highly valuable piece of "Star Wars" memorabilia, and a 19th century plant stand — that provides one of the biggest surprises of the series — are uncovered.
On this episode, the team visits Durham Cathedral, a place of pilgrimage for almost a thousand years.
Treasures include a sweetheart brooch linked to the Grenadier Guards; a giant Victorian penknife; and secret documents that offer new information about the D-Day landings.
These episodes are not available to stream on demand in the U.S.
